How do you guys run your ipv 4 with the ni200? i do a 28g ni200 with 28g kanthal twisted at 465° with organic cotton. Any suggestions for other builds?
I'm sorry that I don't have anything to add but I am curious as to how you like using the ni200. I haven't tried any nickel builds yet would like to know what the biggest difference is to Kanthal. Things like, is the flavor that much better? More vapor? Your overall feel of it. Thanks
Honestly I get a mich cleaner taste from it since it doesnt get hot enough to char my wicking material, It is a little harder to work with than kanthal but is worth it in the end I personally have only been using ni200 for a week or so and have yet to experiment with it much. From what I am told though it is a big no no to use it on a device without temperature regulation.
The one thing about using nickel and temperature control is that you have to modify how you vape if you're a chain vaper. If you chain vape with a temp control mod and a nickel coil, you won't give the coil enough time between vapes to cool down, so the temp control will kick in earlier and earlier since each subsequent draw will start at a higher temperature and will take less time to heat up to the point that temp protection kicks in and the wattage drops. So if the coil is heated enough to the point where temp protection kicks in as soon as you hit the fire button, you will basically be vaping at anywhere from 7-12 watts.I'm sorry that I don't have anything to add but I am curious as to how you like using the ni200.

This isn't true at all. You can chain vape all you want. The mod calculates the resistance of the coil, and adjusts power accordingly. Ni200 increases its resistance substantially as it is heated, so if it reads higher than what was originally registered, it knows its hot. That is why it's so important to make sure your coils are nice and cool before you place it on your mod.The one thing about using nickel and temperature control is that you have to modify how you vape if you're a chain vaper.

From what I understand, the reason why it is a big no no to use it on a device without temperature control is because if the nickel coil heats up too much, the wire will actually melt (not melt in the sense where you will have a little pool of molten nickel in your tank, but the coil will deform and unwind as if it was made from thread and not metal wire).
Some exsample of mods that CAN NOT handle Ni200 coils
MVP V3.0 0.4 Ohm minimum
Istick 30w 0.5 ohms minimum
The list go's on will battery explode in you face or will it just die i have no idea but i recommend you do NOT try!
So is using nickel worth the trouble? Does it make such a great difference in my vape that it's something I need to have? If there's only a slight upgrade to Kanthal then it's not worth it to me. Does nickel save battery life? I'm just interested in the benefit of it.
And here is proof. I stuck my Origen V2 RDA with a 0.107 ohm nickel coil onto my IPV Mini 2. I press the fire button and I get this.And you cited two mods that cannot handle nickel coils and yet neglected the fact that those are regulated mods and will not fire a coil that is lower than their minimum resistances. So if you stick a 0.15 ohm nickel coil on a MVP or an iStick, the mod won't fire. It's not going to explode in your face.
